Costume fitting There are only few days until the Founding Festival.
The Order of the Academy is as swamped with routine tasks as ever, but we"re also steadily moving forward with the preparations for our own program.
"Yees, everybody please stop whatever you"re doing for a little while"
Saying so, Lene clapped.
Hearing her voice, everyone of the Order of the Academy began gathering.
The way of the maid boot camp aftereffects are serious.
"What is it, Lene… sensei"
Rod-sama in his usual familiar tone also called her sensei.
That Lene.
"The festival costumes for everyone are ready, please try them on"
When Lene said the costumes are here, people of Orso house who appear to be merchants brought in clothes.
"Men will wear maid outfits, women will wear butler outfits. I made their size a little larger, if they"re too loose we can adjust them here"
With these words, Lene handed out the costumes one by one.
"We need a place to change… Us boys will do it here, girls should use the vacant cla.s.sroom next door"
Because this place is messy, Rod-sama laughed.
Following his words, men and women split for a while to change clothes.
"How do you put on the butler outfit?"
"Ah. I"ll help you dress up"
"… I will ask Lene"
Claire-sama sensed danger.
Yup, she"s right.
But――.
"Lene is helping men dress up in the meeting room"
"… It cannot be helped, can it"
"… It"s okay"
"Okay, isn"t it"
Rod-sama looked at himself, I looked at Claire-sama, and we each said so.
"… There"s something with Rod-sama"
"Something being wrong with that person is the usual"
Sein-sama said so with a sigh, Claire-sama shrugged her shoulders.
"I can"t calm down in a skirt"
"Butler outfit is surprisingly not bad"
Yuu-sama smiled bitterly, Misha is not all that dissatisfied.
Once we"ve changed clothes separately, it was the time for the debut.
The maid outfit has the cla.s.sical Victorian look.
The skirt is long, the ap.r.o.n puts emphasis on practicality rather than decorations, its colors are uniform white and black.
A maid headdress would be unreasonable considering the indoor cap, it"s exactly the image of a good old British maid.
However, this another world has no relation to England whatsoever.
The butler outfit was also fundamentally in the Victorian style.
Black jacket and white shirt, grey waistcoat and red tie.
This butler outfit also brings to mind good a old British butler.
I repeat, this another world has nothing to do with England.
"… It looks normal on princes, does it not"
"Haha, that so?"
Rod-sama, enjoying it, laughed when Claire-sama said so exasperated.
The voice is masculine, but with Rod-sama"s transcendental beauty coupled with make-up, even if he cross-dresses he looks beautiful.
That being the case, his exaggerated facial expressions could use some more modesty.
In contrast, Sein-sama is sulky.
Sein-sama"s cold beauty in some respects resembles Misha"s.
It"s the so called ice type.
Claire-sama is looking at him with a complicated expression.
Well, no surprise there.
"Hey, Misha. Don"t I look strange?"
"I believe you look lovely"
He might be saying so, but Yuu-sama is absolutely enjoying himself.
The fluffy prince is fluffy even when crossdressing.
A word trap crossed my mind.
When he noticed my gaze, he winked at me with a snap.
It"s cute, but not being Claire-sama"s it had no effect.
"I thought what should I do when we were told to cross-dress, but… surprisingly, this isn"t bad"
Misha who had a slight issue with wearing butler clothes, fits them as well as I expected.
With her naturally cold aura, Misha turned into a perfectly capable butler.
The nape of her neck is seductively peeking from her hair gathered behind.
And――.
"Why this me has to wear men"s clothes… Moreover, these are servants" clothes…"
Claire-sama who is sulking standoffishly, exudes an air of finding it deplorable.
No, it suits her.
Although it suits her, with her clad in the genuine lady aura, the impression is her having to wear the butler outfit unwillingly.
To put it straight――.
"A punishment game?"
"Even if you think so, do not say that!"
I feel sorry for Claire-sama who snapped at me, but no matter how I look at her, it appears just like a punishment game.
Although her appearance is perfect, after all dresses suit Claire-sama more.
"After all commoner is still a commoner. A servant"s appearance suits you"
I responded to Claire-sama"s unpleasant remark with a laugh.
"Well, it"s the truth I"m Claire-sama"s servant?"
"… There is nothing I can make fun of"
Even if I"m told that.
"Hmm… However, this is unexpected"
"What is, Rod-sama"
Lene asked, hearing Rod-sama"s voice oozing with dissatisfaction.
"The gender-reversal cafés I"ve heard of are more like variety shows, the mismatch makes you laugh. Like this, there"s nothing to laugh about"
No, we don"t particularly need to become a laughingstock?
When I was about to retort, somebody called out to Rod-sama.
"About that matter, don"t worry"
It was Lambert-sama.
Because he"s also a beauty, there"s nothing really funny about him crossdressing.
While I was wondering what"s there to be relieved about――.
"Fuhahaha!"
Rod-sama burst into laughter.
"Rod-sama! Please don"t laugh!"
The cause was the leader, Lorec-sama.
Lorec-sama, with the appearance of an uncouth military man in dress, unsurprisingly made Rod-sama laugh.
Lene who was in charge of makeup must have worked quite hard, but it seems there"s a limit to it after all.
"… That"s why I didn"t want it…"
Lorec-sama wept.
With his makeup ruined by tears, his appearance turned even worse.
"Lorec… You pa.s.s. Rather, you are the leading actress"
Rod-sama, for whom it"s the bullseye, burst into laughter without restraint.
The other party had an expression saying he himself cannot laugh at it.
"This joke went too far! I won"t serve customers!"
I"ll shut myself in the kitchen, Lorec-sama declared.
Well yeah, being a n.o.ble son, being a subject of ridicule must be unbearable.
"Why?"
Rod-sama"s completely indifferent to his plight.
Well, with Rod-sama"s personality, even if women"s clothes didn"t suit him I think he"d still go and laugh delightedly.
"Rod, leave him be. I"m sorry for Lorec"
Conversely, with his negative mentality, Sein-sama is sensitive.
With his intervention, it"s been decided Lorec-sama will be in charge of kitchen.
"However, in that case, what is the selling point of Cavalier? Is it not that gender-reversal cafés are amusing?"
At Rod-sama"s displeasure, Lene raised her hand.
"I believe there"s generally a demand for a café where beautiful men and women serve customers. Even more so when it"s royalty and high-ranking n.o.bles who wait on tables"
"You think so?"
Rod-sama is still wracking his brain, but what Lene said is correct.
Commoners also come during the festival.
Being served by royalty and n.o.bility will certainly draw their attention.
"Oh well. Well then, you guys, brace yourself for the day of the festival"
Rod-sama summed up.
I don"t particularly care, but I wish he"d use more appropriate words.
"… What is it?"
"Nothing, I"m just getting rid of a bad aftertaste"
"?"
Even with the punishment game feeling about her, the reality that Claire-sama is cute is not in slightest shaken.
